10 TV: Former Ohio State offensive lineman T.J. Downing pleaded guilty on Monday to a felony charge of drug possession. Downing, an All-Big Ten offensive lineman who played for the Buckeyes from 2003-07, was arrested last Nov. 9 in Grandview Heights.
Police said that they stopped Downing driving along West Fifth Avenue because his vehicle did not have a front license plate and had dark tinted windows. While officers were speaking with Downing, they said that they detected a marijuana odor. According to the Franklin County prosecutor's office, officers searched the vehicle and found a bag that was later determined to be 1.4 grams of cocaine.
Downing, now 25, was signed briefly by the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League after his career at Ohio State. He left the team citing personal reasons. He is scheduled for sentencing on Aug. 6.
